This issue is caused by switching from a proxy to a none-proxy network, even when the proxy has been set to direct internet connection and applied system wide if the system has not rebooted it still seems to be configured to be under that proxy.
The easiest way to fix it is to go to System > Preferences > Network Proxy. Here change to your networks correct proxy setup then click “Apply System-Wide..” you will be prompted to enter your root password twice and then it will be done. If this does not resolve the issue try logging out and back in again or even rebooting your system, this should have fixed it.

Great guide by wootah from the ubuntuforums.org of how to get the wireless receiver for PC working under linux, using the Userspace Xbox/Xbox360 USB Gamepad Driver for Linux from grumbel. It works pretty much perfectly, I use it as a remote to control my laptop when it is displayed on my TV.
Supported Controllers
- Original Xbox controllers through USB (with a cable modification)
- Xbox 360 USB Controllers
- Xbox 360 Wireless Controllers through the Wireless USB Adapter
- Xbox 360 USB Guitar
Some third party controllers may work as well (MadCatz) and they are probably already available. To check support for a particular controller, review the file xboxdrv.cpp and look for the line XPadDevice xpad_devices. You may even be able to add in support for your particular controller by adding the hardware identifiers into xboxdrv.cpp and recompiling the driver (the README talks about this further in depth).
Features
- Executes in user space on top of libusb. This means that you do not have to recompile the kernel
- Provides a joystick device (/dev/input/js0)
- Allows remapping of the buttons and axises
- Support of the analog triggers (LT, RT) along with reconfiguration into a digital mode (they function just as buttons)
- Change the LED status of the ring of light on the 360 pads
